Zero Heart: The Sequel

[hunting]

[Ace is probably experiencing a very violent and jarring drop that will deposit him (none too gently) right in the center of that familiar river of blood. Which means that, yep, that nagging sensation at the back of Ace's throat is back.

[hunting]

[More blood flows. The cord holding the key is starting to shimmer a little and Crown looks half-passed out.]

[deadofknight]

[jamming his shoulder against Crown's to keep him upright, letting go of the key so he can keep Crown's hand positioned over the vial.

BLOOD MUST FLOW! >:U]

[hunting]

[Yep, totally passed out now. And the cord has completely vanished, which means that key is hitting the ground.

Oh, and Ace has probably made somewhat of a mess with that vial. Um, enjoy that with your bloodlust, buddy. It's probably crazily hard to resist.]

[deadofknight]

[carefully scooping up the key for safekeeping, before absently licking some of the excess off the back of his hand while he looks for a way to cap off the vial...]

[hunting]

[Doesn't really look like this room has any spares...

But at least, that bloodlust dipped a bit so that it's back to just really dizzying levels.

[deadofknight]

[licks some more off as he considers his options '-']

[hunting]

[Now back at basic REALLY WANTING levels.

5]

[deadofknight]

[acceptable. :|b

is there a spare vial cap anywhere else in the room? how are the vials that are already there sealed off?]

[hunting]

[They all have nice caps of their own. '-']

[deadofknight]

[patting down Crown's clothes in search of a cap, starting with wherever he pulled out the vial :U]

[hunting]

[Crown does not appear to have the cap on him. And is, in fact, appearing somewhat less tangible. :x]

[deadofknight]

[ok, well, leaving him to vanish then. pulling out the key, does the key hold any clues to capping the vial?]

[hunting]

[Well, it is the Control key so maybe?]

[deadofknight]

[taps the vial's top with the key]

[hunting]

[Huzzah, there is a top. Ace is a wizard! A blood-stained wizard.]

[deadofknight]

[\o/

ok now to tidy up all the vials and stick them back in the red cabinet.

[hunting]

[There is a familiar voice from outside the open door. Ace's familiar voice even.]

"I wouldn't do that. Not if you're not looking to be dinner more than once a week."

[deadofknight]

[o ok backing off with them then]

Where should I put them?

[hunting]

"He's dealing with those ones on his own, right?"

[Glancing over at the slowly fading Crown, pleased.]

"I see you got the key back."

[deadofknight]

[sets the vials down on the floor, in a corner. but definitely not in the cabinet.]

Yep! Where should I put it?

[hunting]

[He holds out his hand.]

"I can take it back to White Lily for now."

[deadofknight]

[hands it over]

Anything else need fixing?

[hunting]

"The wolf is in bad shape, but reaching it without some sort of cure is probably more trouble than it's worth. It might be better to let that sort itself out."

[deadofknight]

[Knave quietly nudges him away from the giant hellcest...]

I'm cure-free, so I guess that's what I'll have to do.

[hunting]

[Goes to nudge Crown with his foot, as the rest of the Carnelian hero's form vanishes.]

"Anyway, I think that should be everything for now. I'll try to make sure none of the recent changes fall out of place.

You should get moving before your hunger starts to spike again."
